Just finished Beach Boys...what a great show, one of those you don't want to end, but you know must...
Also finished Enka no Jouu 7...it finally dawned on me, Himawari is a mini-Bodhisattva...taking upon herself the pain and suffering of those around her with no regard for her own concern...first time I've noticed a blatant Buddhist plotpoint in a dorama...
It took me until episode 8 (the dog-sitting episode) to realize that Kekkon Dekinai Otoko is based on "As Good As It Gets" starring Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt.
The show, the performances in "Kekkon..." are so good, it didn't even occur to me to wonder where, or if, I'd seen most of this before.

REALLY?! Somehow that makes so much sense!

In fact the children really make the story with Kimura just a bystander. To me Kimura is synonymous with romance and when that's missing then it's not vintage Kimura.
I'm just not into children stories. But it's very good if you like that kind of thing.
Now then Pride I've already watched 3 times and will watch it again and again. Alternating with Love Generation and now I'm also liking Last Christmas a lot. :sweat:
I think we have the same taste, Ralph... or we're just both suckers for good romances. :muack:

Finished Unfair last night. Thoroughly enjoyable show, with some good performances by the lead actors. The plot was a bit up and down, but generally it kept me interested enough to be looking forward to the next installment, particularly near the end.
